How do I use a short link on TikTok?
Like Instagram, TikTok allows only one bio link, so pinning a short tlnk.kr link there and reusing it across videos and campaigns by changing only its destination works well.

Why should a TikTok bio link be short?
The TikTok bio link field is highly visible on screen, so a short, brand-visible link such as mybrand.tlnk.kr builds more viewer trust than a long, complicated address.
See choose your own short link name for how to set one up.
Is the link in a video caption clickable?
TikTok often does not make a link typed into a video caption clickable, so creators typically write "link in bio" to direct viewers there instead. This can vary by account type or app version, so check on an actual post.
What should I be careful of when reusing the same link across videos?
Reusing the same tlnk.kr link across many videos makes it hard to tell from the stats which video drove which clicks. Even for a series pointing to the same page, giving each video its own UTM value (via utm_content, for example) keeps them comparable later.
For a spot that should always point to the same destination, like the bio link, reusing a single link and changing only the destination when needed is easier to manage.
How do I use a short link on TikTok?: step by step
- Prepare the destination and add UTM tagsAdd a value such as utm_source=tiktok to the destination URL so it is distinguishable from other channels.
- Create the link on tlnk.krPaste the prepared address into tlnk.kr to generate the short link. A custom subdomain name is worth using if you will reuse this link repeatedly.
- Add it in TikTok profile editingOpen profile editing and paste the generated link into the website (or link) field, then save.
- Point to it from your captionsAdd a line such as "link in bio" to your video captions to direct viewers to the profile link.
- Compare performance in the statsIf you created separate links per campaign or video, compare their click counts on each stats page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add UTM tags for TikTok too?
Yes, tlnk.kr does not add them automatically, so add them to the destination URL yourself as shown in how to add UTM parameters, then shorten the tagged address.
Can I use a short link for a TikTok Shop link?
You can, as long as the destination passes the safety checks as an ordinary web address. The platform's own commerce features follow separate policies, so test that it works correctly first.
Does changing the bio link reset its existing stats?
No. As long as you keep using the same tlnk.kr link and only change its destination, that link's click stats keep accumulating.
What happens if a link gets flagged as unsafe?
tlnk.kr rechecks every destination daily, and a link is blocked automatically if flagged or if three different people report it. In that case you will need a new, safety-checked destination.
